This new lawsuit is not an academic exercise. It can succeed.
. This lawsuit in Colorado simply seeks to bring into practice what many of our top legal minds agree is already constitutional truth.
Trump sought to keep himself in power after losing an election, ultimately inciting and encouraging a violent mob that attacked the Capitol. These are actions that more than meet the definition of engaging in insurrection. It is hard to imagine any conduct more dangerous to the survival of a democratic system of government than a leader refusing to leave, despite the people’s votes against him, or resorting to force to hold on to power.
Criminal prosecutions play a vital accountability role here, and it is good for the country that both special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis have brought charges stemming from Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. But neither criminal charges nor even a criminal conviction automatically prevents Trump from running for, or serving as, president. The United States Constitution does.
